I wasn't picking on you Richard but I'm sure translators will take any help they can get though.
Sure, I'll blog about the suspend hibernate nomenclature for translators and see if we can get a pseudo-standard sorted for all locales.
See http://live.gnome.org/GnomePowerManager/SleepNames for the list so far.
Do I need to put down the crack pipe?
Whilst I understand the simplification for users argument, I think suspend (computer still "on", takes about 10 seconds) and hibernate (computer "off", takes about a minute and a half) are sufficiently different to give the user a choice if they have both working.
g-p-m already just modifies it's preferences automatically if only one, or neither "should" work on the system.
